Have your say on transforming recycling
The Ministry for the Environment are consulting on three proposals to transform recycling:
- A container return scheme that encourages people to return their empty beverage containers for recycling
- Improvements to household kerbside recycling
- Separation of food scraps from general waste for all businesses
Aotearoa New Zealand generates more than 17 million tonnes of waste each year. We send almost 13 million tonnes of that to landfill. This means that almost 76% of the material we use is completely wasted.
Please consider participating in the consultation and making a quick submission or providing detailed feedback.
